I wish it was music

Featuring Trae Tha Truth & T.I.

(Hook)
Oh… wish this was a Metallica concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll
Oh… wish this was man, a Rolling Stones concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll

(Verse)
Problem officer? What? Wuchu lookin fo?
Man I ain’t dis shit, what the fuck you lookin for?
Guess it ‘cause I rap, what has a rapper done to you I ask?
Smoke some weed, show is at when he sad
Man everybody didn’t knew it like me
Ain’t the war you should harass and ask for ID
You done never seen Trevon, Martin in the hoodie
In Connecticut shootin a killa good
Is it me or can anyone see?
I’m holding history while massacre was linked to you
But the prez that’s in er relate to me
Second a memo will strip for me, all because you scared of wet
I go and see a urban movie, shoot a movie theater up
Man, that fucked up
‘Cus I’m a good dude
And when I had to, I knew when to use em
Usually the likes of you sit high and they glow in the likes of me
My music ain’t the problem, Shawty not as poor as I can
Shit!

(Hook)
Oh… wish this was man, a Summer Jam concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll
Oh… wish this was a Coachella concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll

(Verse)
Look, sip real but I’m ridin
Too late for slowin this pace down
Lately like the bed so cold
Gotta keep that 5 on my waist line
Even though I don’t want to I got to
Look at what they did to them babies
I couldn’t imagine the feeling
The way that I’m feeling with something so crazy
That’s that shit that make you sick
Lose all hope and make you quit
Tryna piece this puzzle but shit don’t fit
So many things I just don’t get
They say in life it ain’t nothing that’s promised
We end up living here, I just had to be honest
The pain soundin like metal, the color of vonix
When it play, everything in the path of it demolished
Everything the same stage but a different show
It’s hard to focus every day, putting on a different role, damn!

(Hook)
Oh… wish this was an Up on the Roof concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll
Oh… wish this was a Metallica concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll

(Verse)
Last days, revelations front page
666 out in Boston, it’s the beast range
I send a message to the pagans with the ravens
The numbers to decode, the secret’s locked up in the Vatican
I guess that’s why my papa called me Wyclef Jean
I was named after the reformer teta that was protestant
And never since then, daddy built churches in the hood
But it was hard to see my cousins in a box made out of wood
Sadistically they said that I’ll be dead by 23
I guess they didn’t read the good book and see the prophecy
The youngins say that’s too deep
I’m tryin to move these rocks
X ray came back on his mom’s breast, they found lumps
But he gotta hustle, imam a holy man
He got 3 sisters, papa in the can
Desperate times, desperate measures
He pulled a 2-shooter, tell the click I want everything in the register

(Hook)
Oh… wish this was a Led Zeppelin concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll
Oh… wish this was a Metallica concert
I wish that it was music when they walked in the building
Someone ring the alarm
It sound like rock n roll
It sound like rock n roll
